We are two Afro-Latin PhDs taking an anti-racist approach to center the contribution of Black people and culture across Latin America, the Caribbean and their diasporas through dance and music.
Our work aims to:
- educate consumers of Afro-Latin and Afro-Caribbean culture on its Black roots
- highlight the work of Black artists, dancers, and scholars across the Americas
- develop a practice of anti-racism in the Afro-Latin dance scene 🇵🇷 🇨🇴

S2 Track 1: Não deixe o samba morrer / Don't let samba die
In the words of our guest Pablo Guerreiro, samba is a connection between heaven, earth and humans, it’s a movement, it’s what transforms, what makes everything. We explore historical events that played an important role in the development of samba, consolidating it as a symbol of Brazilian identity. We also talk to samba dancers Charis Railey and Adriana Blanco about their experience with this Afro-Brazilian rhythm.
